6 LEPIDOPTEIiA INDICA. 



Imago. — Male. Upperside. Forewing witli the white spots forming the discal 

 band smaller than in C. pi/rr/ta and C. plagifera, mihi, no spot at the base of the 

 second median interspace, the lower of the two spots in the sub-median interspace 

 minute. Cilia anteriorly dark brown, posteriorly pale yellow. Ilincbcing with the 

 yellow spots on the disc larger and clearer than in either the above mentioned species. 

 Cilia almost entirely yellow, instead of being prominently marked with brown at the 

 ends of the veins. Antennae with the shaft anteriorly entirely pure silvery-white, in 

 which respect it agrees with C. sumitra, Moore, and C. pero, mihi. 



Female. Upperside. Forewing with the lower spot in the sub-median interspace 

 larger than in the male, as also are the five sub-apical spots ; a minute spot at the base 

 of the second median interspace. Cilia posteriorly barely marked with pale yellow. 

 Antennae as in the male. 



C. patula differs from the description of C. sumitra in having two spots in the sub- 

 median interspace of the forewing in both sexes instead of one only ; the cilia are not 

 alternately broadly brown and orange-yellow, and the female of C. patula lacks the 

 yellow costal spot above the oblique discal series of white spots on the upperside of the 

 forewing described in C. sumitra. Described from a single pair from Sikkim ; the 

 female of C. patula is unique, as far as I know, amongst this group of the genus in 

 possessing antennae white, this being usually a male character. I am certain of the sex 

 of my type specimens, as I have examined the primary sexual organs. (deNiceville.) 



Expanse of wings, $ 2-^, $ 2^^ inches. 



Habitat. — Sikkim. 



We have not seen this species, the types are in the Indian ]\Iuseum, Calcutta ; we 

 therefore give de Niceville's descri^ation and copies of his female figure.

Imago. — Male. Upperside, both wings difi'er from C. p>yrrlia, mihi, in being paler 

 in colour. Foreiring marked as in that species, but the yellow spot one-third from the 

 base of the wing in the sub-median interspace more prominent. Cilia broadly pale 

 yellow and lu'own. Hindwing as in C. pyrrha, but the yellow spots on the disc 

 smaller, and the cilia almost entirely pale yellow, only just touched with brown at the 

 ends of the veins as in C. pjatula and C. fiavocincta. Underside, both wings as in 

 C. pyrrha, but the spot one-third from the base of the sub-median interspace of the
